LONDON’S BEST HOTEL SUITES: Jumeirah Carlton Tower

With the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in April, Diplomat identifies London’s best hotel suites with the facilities to assist Heads of State and VIPs

The:Royal Suite at Jumeirah Carlton Tower is just a stone’s throw from the embassies of Knightsbridge and Belgravia

Designed by Khuan Chew, the creative talent behind the interiors of the legendary Burj Al Arab Dubai, the Royal Suite at Jumeirah Carlton Tower is the ultimate in luxury, design and relaxation. Featuring spectacular views of London’s skyline and Cadogan Gardens from the lovely terrace, the 155 square metre suite offers proportions and furnishings befitting the royal families who choose to stay in it.

It’s difficult to list all the luxuries the suite has in store for its guests, but a few worth mentioning include Swarovski crystal lighting, a dining table to seat ten, kitchen, free-standing bar, electric curtains and Bang & Olufsen audio visual technology – the Royal Suite is ideal for entertaining. The bathroom, complete with wet room, chromotherapy Jacuzzi and a vast walk-in rain shower also has Swarovski crystals studded in the ceiling, with a number of different lighting concepts for guests to choose from. There is a separate guest bathroom and the option to connect to three further rooms.

The Jumeirah Carlton Tower hotel is located in the heart of Knightsbridge and within walking distance of various embassies in Knightsbridge and Belgravia. Having won numerous awards over the years, it’s no wonder it has been the choice of so many of London’s missions to host their national day receptions and visiting delegations.
